Morning all. Another from Kev this morning. I started writing this piece before the transfer window had even opened. The rumour mill was already in full flow by then with what often seemed to be credible links to players. Most though never made through the Arsenal doors, just as I believed they wouldn’t. I kept an […]

Morning all. Haven’t seen the game yet, nor the highlights so can’t comment on anything other than how good it is to kick the season off with a victory. An away one at that which is something we struggled to achieve last season. Another bonus is Chambers and AMN being part of a defence which […]
Morning happy people. Feeling all warm and fuzzy inside? Positive and optimistic ahead of the new season which kicks off on Sunday at Newcastle? I sure am. In fact I’ve not felt such optimism towards Arsenal going into a new season for a long long time. This has to have been one of the best […]
Morning all. A scribble from Kev this morning.. So, what does everyone think about our brand new transfer task force after their first proper transfer window? Raul stated a few months back that Arsenal would have to be smarter in the market, which in fairness wasn’t a very high bar to set given the shambolic […]
Morning all. This is Arsenal’s statement on Laurent Koscielny. Laurent Koscielny is leaving us to join Ligue 1 side Bordeaux. The centre back has made 353 appearances for us since signing from Lorient in 2010. He was part of our Emirates FA Cup-winning squads in 2014, 2015 and 2017. Laurent, who started his career in […]
Morning all. It’s late in the transfer window. Arsenal need defensive players but any club willing to sell players now, hold the cards. Unless they have a seriously unhappy player on their hands, they can pretty much demand whatever fee they like from the buying club. Especially a British one. Speculation I know but we’re […]
Morning all. Pre-season came to and end last night with a defeat to Barcelona. A narrow one though I hasten to add with Barcelona needing an own goal to draw level after Aubameyang had opened the scoring. Then right at the end of the game, Suarez popped up with their winner. The own goal was […]
Morning all. I’ve taken a bit of stick for my ‘support’ of Stan Kroenke and his American enterprise, although I do use the term support rather loosely. Of course we could have better owners but then we could have much worse too. People admire the free cash flowing clubs like City and Chelsea, Utd too […]
Morning all. I said to a friend of mine yesterday, at least Arsenal’s style of football should be more exciting this season. How can it not be after signing three quality attacking players and having the likes of Saka, Nelson, Willock and Eddie to call upon. We’ll be winning matches 6-5 I joked as our […]
Morning all. Finally, Arsenal confirmed the signing of Nicolas Pepe yesterday, possibly the most exciting player the club have signed in years. He’s quick, he runs at players, goes by them with ease and he scores goals. This is the kind of player we’ve been crying out for for years. The ideal player for Nelson […]
Morning all. Pinch punch and all that jazz, or white rabbits. It’s the 1st August and the new football season is just eight days away. Ten for Arsenal as our season kicks off on the Sunday. A week today, the summer transfer window of 2019 slams shut. So far, Raul and co have snapped up […]
For years now, every newspaper, sports outlets and fans too have been crying out for the club to spend some money. Usually we have but it’s never been enough, or it’s been spent on the wrong kind of player. Not my thoughts entirely but I’ve certainly read such views for a long long time now. […]
